The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced the recall of winger Adam Erne from the Syracuse Crunch. This is Erne’s first recall to the big club since joining the organization. Brian Boyle left the game Saturday night with a lower body injury during the second period and did not return. Erne’s recall is likely a sign that Boyle will at least miss the Lightning’s next game Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets.
If Erne plays on Tuesday, he’ll be the 10th different player and 8th different forward to appear for the Lightning that was not on the opening night roster.
